What is the importance of academic writing to scholars?
Why is academic writing important? Academic writing is a means of producing, codifying, transmitting, evaluating, renovating, teaching, and learning knowledge and ideology in academic disciplines. Being able to write in an academic style is essential to disciplinary learning and critical for academic success.
What is an example of scholarly writing?
Book reports. Book reports are an excellent example of scholarly writing. And the reason is that that’s something children are taught in school from an early age. Even in elementary schools, kids are required to write a short report on a book assigned or read on their own.
What are the four qualities of effective scholarly writing?
Chapter 4 on writing style and grammar provides guidance on how to be an effective scholarly writer with a focus on four defining qualities: continuity, flow, conciseness, and clarity.

Lempel Ziv text compression algorithm

Describe how the Lempel Ziv text compression algorithm works, illustrating your answer by deriving the sequence of numbers and corresponding bit patterns it would generate when applied to a string starting with the following 24 characters: ABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCD … You may assume that the initial table is of size 256 (containing bytes 0 to 255) and that the codes for “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” are 65, 66, 67 and 68, respectively. [12 marks] (b) Estimate how many bits the algorithm would use to encode a string consisting of 1000 repetitions of the character “A”. [8 marks] 4 Comparative

Urinalysis reveals pyuria and positive nitrites

A 79 yr old woman comes into a walk-in clinic you are working as an NP with a chief complaint of increased urinary frequency and dysuria. Urinalysis reveals pyuria and positive nitrites. She mentions she has a “bit of kidney trouble-not too bad”. A recent evaluation of renal status is unavailable. What would you consider for therapy? Explain the rationale for therapy as well as considerations that you would include while prescribing this medication. Considerations should also include drug resistance and how you would assess this patient for the possibility of drug resistance.

Feeding and intravenous therapy

You work as an RPN at a major metropolitan hospital on a medical unit.

Mr. Cote has end-stage Alzheimer’s Disease. He has had a stroke and is hospitalized in your unit. He can no longer swallow. Prior to the stroke, Mr. Cote did have some brief moments where he was lucid and able to converse. After his stroke, he deteriorated very quickly and no longer has any moments where he is lucid or has the capacity to make any decisions.  His physical health has deteriorated and the healthcare team estimates that with a feeding tube, he may live another 2 to 6 months.

In the past month, Mr. Cote has pulled out his feeding tube twice. Now he needs to have his arms restrained to stop him from pulling out the tube. The healthcare team wants to stop all feeding and intravenous therapy and let Mr. Cote die.

His wife insists that he have a feeding tube. She says that if he does not have the feeding tube, she will be responsible for ending his life. She adds that if the team does not re-insert the tube when he pulls it out they will be responsible for his death.

Mrs. Cote says her husband does not know what he is doing and the tube must remain.

You are in a team meeting to discuss what to do next and your manager says to you. “You took a class that discussed ethics. What do you think is the right thing to do in this case?” Question:

 What is the ethical dilemma? State specifically what the issue here is.  What is the actual ethical dilemma the persons (nurse, client, Dr. etc) are facing in your scenario?

Identify the ethical principle and explain why?

 

What are the roles? Who was involved?who is responsible to make the decision? And who is affected by the decision, and why they are affected by the decision and/or scenario.

Positive ways you deal with stress

Some stress makes you react positively; stress can give runners the “edge” needed to make it through to the finish line. On the other hand, some stress can be harmful; it can increase the risk of developing health problems such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. For this reason, stress can be divided into either eustress (good) or distress (bad). What are some positive ways you deal with stress? What are some negative ways you deal with stress? Be sure to include at least one goal that discerns a new coping skill you will utilize to decrease stress and cope healthily in the future.

Person-centered care and harm minimization strategies

Case Study;

Am a support worker in a homeless service that values person-centered care and harm minimization strategies. The service provides short-term (up to two weeks) accommodation and, in addition, provides direct case management services to people experiencing homelessness. My primary job is to support people to locate stable and long-term accommodation.

Casey is 17 years old and has lived on the streets for the past 12 months. She was thrown out of the home when she told her parents that she was gay.

Casey suffers from anxiety, regularly uses marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol, and occasionally smokes ‘crystal’ (methamphetamine). She has come to your service to seek assistance.

 

1. Explain what harm reduction strategies you would use with Casey.

2. Describe the category/categories of the drug/drugs Casey is using (e.g. depressant).

3. Describe your values that are relevant to this case study, and how they could influence your work with Casey.

4. Identify a service you could refer Casey to and write a referral for her (up to 300 words).

5. Identify how you would document and store Casey’s assessment and referral information according to confidentiality requirements.

Compassionate Communication in Patient Care

Would like assistance in thoroughly answering these questions. My instructor told me I did not answer the question correctly or detailed. Please if you have read the book (I’m Here, Compassionate Communication in Patient Care by Marcus Engel) and know the nursing theories I would like help. My initial response to each question is below.

1. Marcus Engel described his experience as a patient in  I’m Here, Compassionate Communication in Patient Care. Consider how Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert Theory applies to Mr. Engel’s experiences.

2. Describe how the Benner’s theory related to Mr. Engel’s experience.

3. How would the care received by Mr. Engel have been improved by applying Benner’s theory?

 My initial response: 1. Marcus Engel described his experience as a patient in  I’m Here, Compassionate Communication in Patient Care. Consider how Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert theory applies to Mr. Engel’s experiences.

Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert theory is about understanding nursing knowledge and taking care of patients. Benner’s theory applies to Marcus Engel’s experiences because he was a patient. His nurse was able to show him compassion. The nurse had his physical, spiritual, and emotional needs in mind.

2. Describe how Benner’s nursing theory related to Mr. Engel’s experience.

Engel was initially treated as a novice patient by all the medical professionals he interacted with. Still, as his situation became more complicated, the treatment shifted to reflect his expertise.

3. How would the care received by Mr. Engel have been improved by applying Benner’s nursing  theory?

First, it would have helped the nurses caring for Mr. Engel make better decisions and be more effective in their practice. Nurses who are more experienced and knowledgeable would provide a higher quality of care to the patient. In addition, they would also be able to provide a higher level of support and guidance to nurses who are less skilled and knowledgeable, allowing them to develop their skills faster that would otherwise be possible.
